Silver Economy and Public Policies

Towards a transformative model of active longevity, autonomy and universal rights

At Fundación LONGENIA (Fundación Canaria ALCASIV), we understand the Silver Economy not as an exclusive commercial niche, but as a structural opportunity to transform society and ensure that increased life expectancy is accompanied by the highest possible quality of life, dignity and independence for everyone, beginning with the most vulnerable.

The Home as the Core of Health and Personal Autonomy

We defend the right of older people and people with functional diversity to develop their life project in their usual environment, avoiding unnecessary residential placement and preventing unwanted loneliness or uprooting.

Person-Centred Integrated Care (AICP)

We promote flexible support models that respect the will, preferences and self-determination of users and their carers.

Community Transition and Deinstitutionalisation

Alineados con la State Strategy for a new community-care model (2024-2030), impulsamos soluciones que trasladan los apoyos sociosanitarios directamente a la vivienda.

Priority Groups

We focus our efforts on older people in situations of dependency, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and older people with IDD.

Social Innovation and Care Technologies in the Home Environment

We connect frontier research with practical solutions for life support, assisted home automation and intelligent monitoring.

Public Policy Advocacy and Health-Social Care Cooperation

The sustainability of the welfare system in the face of the demographic challenge requires multi-level and multi-stakeholder cooperation among the Third Sector, the scientific community and public administrations.

Alignment with the Regional and State Framework

We collaborate actively within the framework of Canary Islands Social Services Law 16/2019 and Decree 46/2025 on the SAAD in the Canary Islands, promoting simplified procedures, data interoperability and continuity of care between Primary Care and social services.

Knowledge Transfer

We generate evidence from pilot projects to inform responsible public procurement, the creation of new professional skills and social taxation.
